Key takeaways
Capture any Google Maps search with the free Vonsel Chrome extension, then export to CSV and import that CSV into Google Sheets
No API, no code, no credit card: the extension reads results already loaded in your Maps tab and lands each field in its own column
The spreadsheet is the starting point. The real payoff is the Vonsel dashboard: a mapped CRM, AI email per business, and review insights on top of your data
Why a spreadsheet
Google Maps is a great list, just not a workable one
Google Maps is the largest local business directory on the planet. Search "dentists in Madrid" or "roofers in Chicago" and you get dozens of businesses with phones, ratings, and websites. The problem is that this list lives inside a scrolling panel. You cannot sort it, filter it, or hand it to a teammate.
A Google Sheet fixes that instantly. Once your leads sit in rows and columns you can sort by rating, filter out businesses that already have a website, split a city into territories, and share the tab with your team. It is the format everyone already knows.
The hard part has always been getting the data out of Maps and into the sheet. The official Google Places API means billing, code, and quotas. Copying by hand means hours of tab switching. A browser extension removes both problems: it reads what is already on screen and hands you a file. That is the means. Below is exactly how to do it.
Start with the free extension
Install it once and every Google Maps search becomes an exportable list. Free download. No trial, no credit card.
The whole flow takes a few minutes and needs nothing beyond Chrome and a Google account. Here is the exact path from a raw search to a live spreadsheet.
1. Add the Vonsel extension. Download it, load it in Chrome using developer mode, then open Google Maps and click the Vonsel pop-up. If you want the detailed walkthrough, read our install guide. The extension itself is free with no card required, and Chrome documents this unpacked flow in the Chrome extensions docs.
2. Run your search. On Google Maps, type your niche and location, for example "coffee shops in Barcelona". Let the results panel load, then scroll it so more listings appear.
3. Capture the results. Open the Vonsel side panel and start the capture. It walks the list for you, collecting each business without you clicking through profiles. You can pause and resume a capture, or reopen it later to add more businesses to the same batch.
4. Export to CSV. When the capture finishes, choose the CSV option. You can also pick XLSX or JSON if you prefer, and our export formats guide explains when to use each one. For a plain spreadsheet, CSV is the cleanest choice.
5. Import into Google Sheets. Open a new sheet, go to File then Import, upload the CSV, and choose "Insert new sheet" or "Replace current sheet". Google explains the options in its import data help page. Your leads land in tidy columns, ready to sort and filter.

What lands in the sheet
The fields you get, column by column
A good export is not just names. Each business arrives with the fields that matter for outreach, and every field gets its own column so the sheet is filter ready from the first second.
Column
What it holds
Included
Business name
The listing name as shown on Maps
Yes
Category
Primary Google category, e.g. "Dentist"
Yes
Full address
Street, city, and postal code
Yes
Phone number
Public contact number
Yes
Website
Business site URL when listed
Yes
Rating and reviews
Star average and review count
Yes
Email
Found through website enrichment
Often
Social profiles
Links found on the business site
Often
Emails and socials are not printed on Maps, so the extension visits each business site quietly in the background to find them. If email is your main goal, our guide on extracting emails from Google Maps goes deeper. Prefer Excel over Sheets? The same capture also feeds our export to Excel walkthrough.

Capture a search, export CSV, drop it into Google Sheets. Free download. No trial, no credit card.
Once your leads sit in Sheets, a few habits keep the list useful. Freeze the header row, add a status column, and use a filter view so you can sort by rating or hide rows without changing what teammates see.
If you want a sheet that refreshes on its own, host the CSV somewhere stable and pull it with the IMPORTDATA function. For most sales lists a fresh export each week is simpler and just as effective.
A spreadsheet is a fine place to store leads, but a poor place to sell from. You cannot see a territory on a grid, a cell will not write your first email, and a filter will not tell you which businesses are unhappy with their current provider. That is where the export stops being the goal.
Beyond the sheet
The sheet is the means, the dashboard is the end
Exporting to Google Sheets solves the "where do I put this list" problem. It does not solve the "how do I turn this list into meetings" problem. That is what the Vonsel dashboard is built for, and it is where the same captured data becomes something you can act on.
Send your leads into the Vonsel dashboard and every business drops onto a mapped CRM. You see your territory instead of a wall of rows. Email Intelligence drafts a tailored email for each business, and Reviews Intelligence reads their public reviews to surface pain points you can lead with. That is a value added database, not a raw CSV.
Mapped CRM
Every captured lead appears on an interactive map so you can plan coverage and routes instead of squinting at coordinates in a cell.
AI email per business
Email Intelligence writes a personalized opener for each lead using its category and context, so you are not staring at a blank draft.
Reviews Intelligence
Public reviews are read for you and turned into buying signals and pain points, the kind of angle a spreadsheet will never give you.
One living history
Reopen a past capture to add more businesses or attach reviews later. Your work compounds instead of scattering across CSV files.
You can still export to Sheets whenever you need to share or archive. The difference is that the spreadsheet becomes an output of your workflow, not the whole workflow. To understand why enriched data beats a plain list, see Google Maps data vs bought lists. And before you email anyone, it is worth reading whether scraping Google Maps is legal.
A Google Sheet stores your leads. A mapped CRM turns them into revenue

Capture Google Maps, export to Sheets, then let the dashboard do the selling. Free download. No trial, no credit card. Explore features or see plans.
Can I export Google Maps leads to Google Sheets for free?
Yes. The Vonsel Chrome extension is free to install with no trial and no credit card. You capture a Google Maps search, export the results as CSV, then import that CSV into a Google Sheet. The whole flow takes a few minutes and needs no coding or API keys.
Do I need the Google Places API to get Maps data into Sheets?
No. The Places API requires billing setup and code. A browser extension reads the results already loaded in your Google Maps tab, so you can export names, addresses, phones, websites, and emails to a spreadsheet without touching an API.
What fields can I export from Google Maps into a spreadsheet?
You can capture business name, category, full address, phone number, website, rating, and review count, and in many cases an email and social profiles found through website enrichment. Each field lands in its own column so the sheet is ready to filter and sort.
